Fenomenal Funds supports the resilience of women’s funds in the Prospera International Network. The Collaboration Grants foster collective resilience by deepening connections among women’s funds, enabling them to reimagine and realign their knowledge, systems, and practices with feminist principles. We started with 13 Collaboration Groups and now have 15. Here, we highlight the groups, their focus areas, and what we love about their work.
Four collaboratives focus on Collective Care, exploring different aspects of care as part of their political identity. Another group works on Financial Resources, developing innovative practices for mobilizing and managing funds central to resourcing movements. A pair of women’s funds focuses on Transformative Organizational Development, examining feminist policies and practices in leadership, human resource management, and pay.
A group of four feminist funds is evolving their Systems and Practices, aligning participatory grantmaking, feminist MEL, and feminist fund databases with their mission. Narrative Change work is central for two collaboratives that recognize the need to build narrative power to advance gender justice. Learn more in 2024 as we share the rich work of these collaboration groups.
